AUG newsletters from MIT-MC[AR0:JCAF] #19
Comments
@larsbrinkhoff Do you know if there is any (simple, low-effort, doesn't require bothering people) way to see what files might have previously been publicly available from MIT-MC? I strongly believe that 3rdparty/aug/files has everything already, but knowing for sure would be nice. |
For this time period, access to MIT-MC was password restricted. So only
authorized people would have had access. So how did people get at the
CP/M archive? I don't know, maybe the CPM password was publicly known.
Once logged in, ALL files in the entire system were accessible.
I see only one timestamp for JCAF; AR0 AUG, it's 1982-02-14. There are
6000 lines. Counting the number of ^_ characters separating messages,
I see 42.

JCAF; AR0 AUG is an archive with these files:

@larsbrinkhoff Thanks for looking, this answers the question! I reviewed the mailing list archives we have, and to make things available, Frank Wancho would copy them to SIMTEL20 MICRO:<CPM.AMETHYST> and this became the primary distribution point in 1984. Turns out I have I verified and we have all the other files as well, in 3rdparty/aug/files. So, that answers the question as regards to MIT-MC. Thank you for checking. |

(Didn't realize how early SIMTEL was very much a manual endeavor.) |
